SAP Student Ambassador Program Tor Vergata University

Tor Vergata University of Rome launched the Student Ambassador Program for the first time, a project aimed at promoting integration, inclusivity, and cultural exchange.

The ambassadors are students enrolled in our degree programs who come from various parts of the world, taking on a key role in fostering dialogue, integration, and inclusion.In the pilot phase, five students were selected: four female students from Turkish, Arabic, Persian and Russian-speaking regions, and one male student from a Hindi-speaking area.

The plan is to further expand and increase the number of participants. The student ambassadors will play multiple roles, offering welcome and orientation support as well as promoting our University. They will also provide practical support by sharing their experiences to ease adaptation and integration for new students.

During this initial phase, they will create content in both English and their native languages for specially developed social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube), with the goal not only of sharing information but also of creating connections among students from different backgrounds, also through chat interactions.

Additionally, the ambassadors will be active on the Unibuddy platform to interact with students, answering questions, addressing concerns, and providing information on www.unibuddy.com. This platform, launched specifically for the project and soon to be integrated into our University’s website, serves as an important tool to facilitate communication and strengthen the sense of community among students.

The program’s operational management is overseen by the Division of Global Engagement and Mobility, particularly by the Welcome Office.

Formative Activities

“Formative Activities” (FAs) are mandatory didactic activities where students are followed by tutors on specific assignments. Experimental, numerical, and theoretical activities may be considered based on the tutor’s knowledge, skills, and availability.

To start a Formative Activity, the student must contact a university tutor, chosen among the Bachelor in Engineering Sciences professors, asking for his/her support in undertaking this task. At the end of the assignment, the tutor chosen will sign off the “Formative Activity Form” stating the acquisition of the related credits.

The credits of FAs are acquired without a mark.

Internal and external internships (managed by the related university office) may cover FAs as well as ERASMUS activities.

FAs consist of 3 credits (=75 hours) of assisted work under the tutor’s responsibility or covered by the internship. The studies and any other results from FAs, in terms of data, experiments, or skills, may be used to prepare for the final exam. In that case, the student can also ask the same tutor to be his/her supervisor in the final exam.

The final exam involves acquiring 6 credits (=150 hours) which must be added to the FAs. A student is accepted to the graduation session if one professor of the Bachelor in Engineering Sciences signs off the form (by the central secretariat) where that professor states that the candidate is able to undertake the final exam. For the final exam, the student may provide a written document (Thesis) and must provide a presentation that has been previously approved by a professor of the Bachelor.

Typically, the final mark of the Graduation Commission (up to 7 points maximum) depends on the typology and quality of the documents the students provide at the final exam. Students who provide the presentation without a written document (Thesis) rarely earn more than 1-2 points;

A bibliographic Thesis can get up to 3-4 points, whereas research studies with a written Thesis may aspire to the maximum number of points.

It is a normal procedure, but not a mandate, to associate an FAs and the final exam to the same professor, who will be the tutor of the FAs and the supervisor of the final exam. Considering the high number of work hours required (75+150), if a student opts for this choice, it is highly recommended to contact the desired professor promptly, 4 to 6 months before the expected graduation date.
